A truck scale. In my case it's a place that sells steel. The trucks need their weigth to make sure they are not overweight for the heighway.

Supposed to be accurate within 20-40 lbs..

Not too shabby
Dang! That's a pretty good weight distribution! A bet that thing performs as good as it looks!

+1 to pretty much everything everyone else has already said. That car is simply amazing and I LOVE the engine bay!

Nice. Love the engine bay as usual. Those billet hinges, etc. really grabbed my eye.

I love a car that not only looks good, but was done right!

Big fan of the new ride, I actually like it a lot better than the blue '69.

Besides, the best shots (by Harrington) will be in the issue. Those will make these look amature.

DaMn! I think I just found my new wallpaper. You dont mind do you?
